Today at IFA 2013 in Berlin, Germany, LG announced a brand new UltraWide All-In-One PC known as the V960. The unit features a 21:9 aspect ratio monitor powered by an NVidia GeForce FT 640M GPU and backed by Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system.

The gigantic 29-inch machine includes a built in TV Tuner, so you can switch between working on the next great American novel and your favorite episode of Honey Boo Boo. If multitasking is more your avenue, you can take advantage of the unit’s picture in picture mode to get work done while watching TV. The unit will ship with an LG brand keyboard and mouse to "provide an immediate out-of-box experience".

As Microsoft’s latest operating system is geared at applications scrolling in a horizontal direction – the unit may not be as weird to use as it appears. If you’ve always wanted dual monitors, but never wanted the bezel break in the center, you might also be in luck with LG’s V960.

Obviously the movie you watch would be formatted to fit the screen, and even so it wouldn't go to each side.
My question is, is that the camera and mix on the bottom of the screen? If so, that seems a little too low.

Any 1080p movie plays perfectly with this aspect ratio without those annoying black borders on the top and bottom. I have been using the AOC Q2963PM with the same aspect ratio and it has been great for playing games and watching movies :D

Exactly what i was thinking. When you have two or more monitors typically the ones to the side are angled towards you. Also without a curve, when you start getting way off to the side the viewing angle will be quite shallow which on most monitors means a poorer picture. To keep the monitor pointing directly at the user it needs a curve.

We use them for our TVs and Blu Ray players and washer and drier, plus our first Windows Phones were LGs. We have really liked the brand and their stuff has worked well and have been priced competitively.

Keep making TVs, Refrigerators and toasters. Just like Emerson trying to make TVs and they make toasters. Major fail. Same feelings with Samsung and Sony making laptops. Fail. Don't get me started with Toshiba and Mitsubishi

As a profesional photographer, I could totally use this. I use dual screens to have my toolbars on one screen while working on the other. This kind of aspect ratio could allow me to use one screen instead of two. The benefit of a single screen intead of dual would be awesome. With no split down the middle, I can put my working space centered on the screen, Photoshop toolbars on the right side, and email and crap on the left side. Dual screen forces you to be biased towards the left or right.

Although I'm not too enthused about the resolution (should have minimum 1440 vertical pixels) I am quite positive about the aspect ratio.

I think this is perfect! I would like to use two side by side; i know it sounds crazy but for work purposes there are times i want 5 or more items displayed at one time. Less jumping between program means more effeciency!

Let's pray that it actually has the option to disable scaling.
Otherwise, many tasks will be even more hilariously impossible than on ordinary widescreens.
I had to spend multiple days to find the option to disable scaling for my notebook, because it was hidden in the onboard driver settings menu instead of Nvidia settings.

"the unit may not be as weird to use as it appears"
Why would this machine be considered weird? It's different, yes, but not weird. We're already more or less used to widescreen televisions and various individuals with the cash, like myself, have something like the Dell U2913WM (2560x1080).
